Get one route in full

get_route
Read-onlyIdempotent

Full record for one atlas route by exact id: distance, fastest time, top speed, operator, rolling stock, opening year, ridership, story, on-route sights, photo and page URL, plus country-hub links. An unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions instead of failing. Use search_routes first when you only have a name or city.

Input Schema

idYesExact route id in kebab-case, e.g. "glacier-express" — take it from search_routes, famous_routes or routes_in_country results.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint and idempotentHint. Description adds useful behavior: unknown id returns up to 5 close-match suggestions. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, no filler. Lists returned fields first, then edge-case behavior and usage guidance. Concise and front-loaded.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Simple tool with one parameter, annotations cover safety. Description fully explains return fields, error handling, and when to use alternatives. No output schema needed.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and description enriches the parameter by specifying format (kebab-case) and source (search_routes, famous_routes, routes_in_country).

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clear verb 'Get' and resource 'route in full', specifies exact id lookup. Distinguishes from sibling search_routes by stating it requires exact id.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly advises to use search_routes first when only a name or city is known, and explains that unknown id returns suggestions instead of failing.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4.6/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: overview stats, city pair journey info, famous routes list, full route details, sleeper routes, routes by country, and free-text search. No overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names follow a consistent snake_case style and are descriptive. Minor inconsistency: 'get_route' uses a verb-noun pattern while others like 'city_pair' are noun-noun, but overall predictable.

Tool Count5/5

Seven tools is well-scoped for a train atlas server, covering overview, search, specific queries, country, city pair, night trains, and famous routes without being excessive.

Completeness4/5

Covers key operations: overview, search, detail, country, city pair, night trains, famous routes. Missing direct route-by-category or regional groupings, but search with filters compensates. No dead ends.
